 Yep the countdown is unrelenting and its getting very close to hard dive format time! However I have not yet found a piece of blogging software to start off the project. This is not the end of the world, the site management software here does include an article editor. I do however find it much ea…

Hi and thanks.
I will try these extensions though from what I have read elsewhere they don't do everything that I am used to using in live witer.
As for wordpress, AFAIK that is server side software. I already have the server set up as you can see

The world is a funny place and I was amused to see that someone is doing the reverse of what we are doing and blogging their transition from Linux to Windows. Raka posted on our forum here a link to the Kiloblog. In a forum elsewhere it was suggested that we take on a linux user to do an opposit…

 After discussions we have agreed on a launch date and time for A Room Without Windows. We will go live with the project on the 1st of June 2009. This allows us sufficient time to plan properly the implementation of the project as well as allowing us to clear some personal time to ensure that we …

Heehee, I'm tuning into this project of yours, because I'm doing the opposite! I am switching from Linux to Windows (http://1kib.wordpress.com/category/kilowimp/) for nearly as long.

It’s been busy busy busy… I have been reading up on distro after distro. I don’t have a definite choice made yet, but I feel I know a lot more about Linux versions. As for a start date, we still can’t agree on when D-Day will be, other than it will be soon. The big news is that we have gained…

Thankyou for that one, Ardour looks very good to my uninformed eyes, but Daniel is the knowlegeable one here
I mailed him with your link and he is impressed so far with ardour. Perhaps he can comment further.

64 Studio is a distribution designed specifically for musicians. It comes pre-configured, and with all of the best, free audio software.
www.64studio.com/
Daniel should check it out.

A good place for help with audio related issues, or for audio related questions is the Linux Audio Users (LAU) list:
lad.linuxaudio.org/subscribe/lau.html
And there some information here:
lau.linuxaudio.org/
Cheers,

I guess that the research that we are going through now is typical of anyone who is going to make the change to Linux. In that respect, Windows does tend to be easier. You simply don’t have to worry about which version to plump for. Essentially there is only one.
Choice is GOOD...Welcome to Linux....Linux is like buying a car....so many choices but I guess we all end up driving some car....can you imagine having only one car to choose from......A FORD PINTO... .
Unlike a car if you don't like one Linux distro you can always try another and it doesn't cost anything but time but you gain knowledge.

I just found this review of Ubuntu Netbook remix on ITwire. Thought it might give you some food for thought:

And here are the handy audio tools I use:
Audacity: Simple recording, lots of filter and transforms of problematic files, cross-platform (mac, win, lin). Invaluable program.
Postfish: This needs to compile, but it is the only tool I have ever found that deverbs. Great for fixing wet audio. I can help if the audio gentleman is curious. This tool is the reason I tried linux in the first place, and it have saved my audio on a number of ugly live video shoots. Has some other nice filters as well.
Ardour - From what I hear, this is the equivalent of protools. Don't know how well it will run on a netbook though.
Hydrogen - drum kit, extremely easy to use
I want to play with Rosegarden (midi), beast, , etc one of these days, but I haven't had much free time to do it.
Studio 64 is supposed to be good because it auto configs the jack interface (the only confusing thing, but necessary to map outputs from many programs to ardour, and keep them in sync).
I used Ubuntu studio about a year ago, and the support was good, plu sthere are some nioce tutorials that help with workflow.
However, for this experiment, I think high end mixing isn't what he is looking for, so audacity for most things, and then maybe ardour or rosegarden for multitracking.
